On the Golden Globes’ red carpet, Hustlers director Lorene Scarfaria revealed that she is currently attempting to adapt the critically beloved Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez starrer into a Broadway musical. In a conversation with Variety, Scarfaria shared that she is currently in the very beginning stages of developing the script and that her vision includes a mix of original music and songs used in the film, like Fiona Apple’s “Criminal,” which underscored Lopez’s iconic introductory pole dance. She joked that that a lot depends on Usher, who made a bold cameo at the end of the first act.
